- 50Screen DailyJonathan RomneyScreen DailyJonathan RomneyThe film shows plenty of ambition and imagination delivered with considerable visual elegance, yet still ends up feeling somewhat airlessly conceptual.
- 50VarietyJay WeissbergVarietyJay WeissbergCaetano Gotardo and Marco Dutra, collaborating as directors for the first time, channel the artificiality of late Manoel de Oliveira but without the enticing mystery, hampered by an understandable earnestness that yearns for a more subtle approach.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijThe Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijThe result feels like a dry and endless lecture more than an involving human story about serious issues. It’s a movie that’s all subtext and no text — and even the subtext struggles to make a point that’s more complex than a blunt truth.
